Lec 1-6 - Intro/Pituitary Flashcards
hormones in anterior pituitary
tropic hormones: acth, tsh, gh, lh, fsh, prolactin
hormones from posterior pituitary
adh, oxytocin
tissue that forms the roof of the mouth form the blank pituitary
anterior (epithelial tissue)
posterior pituitary comes from blank tissue
neural
artery –> cap bed –> vein –> cap bed –> another vein
portal system
sliced infundibulum would mess up entire blank pituitary but might still have some function of blank
anterior, posterior
nuclei of hypothalamus that allow creation of adh and oxytocin
paraventricular, supraoptic
hormone itself is made in the cell body of the blank in the hypothalamus
neuron
only example of a single cell type making two different hormones
gonadotroph making LH and FSH
three hormones that can be inhibited
GH, prolactin, TSH
somatostatin (GHIH) inhibits these
tsh, GH
dopamine somatostatin inhibits this
prolactin
constant inhibition of blank by the hypothalamus unlike all other hormones
prolactin
